The tyre's real value for money
Lowest price in size 215/40 R18 divided by the estimated mileage from tests and reviews.
Technical information
Focus: Sport
With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Nankang NS2 XL belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

What owners say
<p>Tyres sound, specially when turning in a newly asphalted street, is like you-re having issues with your transmission or tyre bearings... but dry grip is good, also pretty decent in wet conditions.</p>
Not good when roads are a bit damp, not so bad when the roads are very wet, can’t even pull away with hardly any throttle without wheelspin so do not inspire confidence, they remind me of Pirelli’s that were fitted to my previous Jaguar Xj8, was like skating on ice if the roads were damp, especially if salted. They were on the car when I bought it and decided I will buy new 19” wheels and try different make of tyres, I wouldn’t buy the Nankangs
Update:
After some more daily driving (I'm the back seat driver), we've decided that these are excellent budget tires!
215/35R19 on a 8.5J Reverse Mount wheel, stretched the tire a bit, but this is awfull for every day driving! Not the tire's fault, but we wanted a little stretch.
Dry: Great, just needs some heat and then they grip nicely.
Wet: We thought that this would be awfull, but no. Just a little warm up and it grips like a rain tire! We were only able to slide on manholes, but back on asphalt, it just wouldn't let go!
Feedback: Not so good, i think it's because of the stretched tires.
Handling: Just ok. Again, stretched tires are to blame.
Wear: Good, nothing extremely bad, maybe the inside over time because my friend is stubborn and didn't align the rear.
Comfort: Does not apply on this setup. 215/35R19 stretched on a old, lowered E46 doesn't equal comfort.
Do I recommend this tire? Not for most people, but this is exactly what WE wanted.
Aggressive thread, not to expensive, a tire brand I've heard of, cheap, wonky sizes.
For us, it's perfect!
Review of these Nankang Ns2's on my buddy's E46
215/35R19 85Y XL on a 8.5J rim, nice stretch, load rating plenty for a E46.
First of, I recommended these tyres for him because he wanted a cheap, aggressive threaded tyre, with a rotation thread pattern.
There isn't much to choose in 215/35R19. Hankook and Kumho too expensive, dont want unknown brands, so Nankang was about the only way to go.
We specifically chose the NS2'S over the NS20'S because of better looks and similar reviews.
Btw, if you find the Nankang NS2 Ultra Sports, those are the same as when you order regular NS2'S. Both have NS2 Ultra Sport written on the sidewall.
Speaking of the sidewall, it's a very boring one, nothing special.
Now, we only have these on the car for a few weeks now, and we really needed to break-in the tyres, driving carefully for the first 50 to 100 miles.
First things that stand out, the noise, of boy they are noisy! But they give a lot of feedback!
They are really stiff as well, mind you the sidewall is nearly nonexistent and his cold pressure is like 2.7 Bar and warmed up 3.0 Bar.
Comparing to his old tyres, Hankook Ventus Evo 3's in 225/40R19 (93Y) XL (way to big for a lowered E46, he grabbed the tyre size of a E46 M3), the Nankangs have a little less grip, and dont give you as much confidence to push harder.
Haven't tested in (heavy) rain yet, but we are expecting significant reduced grip, but that's to be forgiven.
I wouldn't recommend these for the average driver, but for a project car and for the driver that can handle the noise, grip and probably wear, I would recommend them!
Very good at how much they cost.
The single problem is when you don t use your car they make a flat spot first kilometers.
